 The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya follows the high school life of Haruhi Suzumiya, a young and very active high school girl, and those who are caught up in her antics. While Haruhi is the central character to the plot, the story is told from the point of view of Kyon, one of Haruhi's classmates.
Kyon is an ordinary freshman high school student who has recently given up his fantasies of espers, time travelers, and aliens as he left middle school. When he chooses to speak to Haruhi, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events which drag him into surreal situations; he is drawn further into a world eerily like the fantasies he had just managed to outgrow, with Haruhi at its center.
Searching for a group that interests her, Haruhi joins and quits every club in the school, finding only dissatisfaction. Kyon makes a snide remark about her actions and accidentally provides Haruhi the inspiration to create a club of her own. To help start the club, Haruhi forcefully drafts Kyon, who only stays in the club to protect other helpless victims of Haruhi's "voluntary arrests". As the story progresses, Kyon finds that each of these supposedly "helpless victims" has a specific reason to be there.
The first of these new members is Yuki Nagato, a silent bibliophile who usually wants to simply be left alone to read. Without Haruhi knowing, Yuki is in fact a "humanoid interface," or an artificial human, created by the extraterrestrial Integrated Data Entity. The next member is the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, who is one year above Haruhi; she is actually a time traveler. The final member of the SOS Brigade is Itsuki Koizumi, who is almost always smiling and more than willing to give in to Haruhi's strange demands. He turns out to be one of many espers in an organization known as the Agency.
Except for Kyon, the members of the club are secret agents of various organizations who are sent to observe Haruhi. They gradually explain that Haruhi has superhuman control over every aspect of the universe—an ability which she is unaware of. Whenever Haruhi becomes bored or otherwise dissatisfied with reality, she unconsciously creates a new universe—one more to her liking—and attempts to switch over, thus leading to the destruction of the current universe. In order to prevent this, the members of Haruhi's club spend their time attempting to keep their god-like leader entertained, hold her powers in check, and maintain the illusion of a normal life.

Name: Haruhi Suzumiya 涼宮 ハルヒ
Personality:At first, Haruhi seems very indifferent and cold but underneath that front she is very spontaneous, upbeat, and hyperactive. Her determination, persistence, and resourcefulness drive her endeavors of finding strange phenomenon and promoting the SOS Brigade. Because of her dedication, she becomes hot-headed when things don't go her way. Hand-in-hand with her cleverness and creativity, and a certain ruthlessness, even seeming amorality, she can often get what she wants, an example of such is when she blackmailed the Computer Society President into giving her a brand new computer for the SOS Brigade. Haruhi tends to pursue her goals regardless of who gets in the way, or is hurt, such as Mikuru in the aforementioned blackmail. Right and wrong seem immaterial. She also has a tendency to be jealous and angry when Kyon gets too friendly with any girl. Evidently, the universe was almost destroyed and recreated when Haruhi's jealousy was pushed too far.
Haruhi also has a very competitive personality and accepts without hesitation any challenge that crosses her, regardless of difficulty or time constraint. Her constant optimism and over-confidence make her rather arrogant. She has very high standards and won't accept anything less than perfection from herself and her Brigade. She places a lot of trust in her Brigade members, especially Kyon, to get the task done whatever it may be. She is not shy and often attracts a lot of attention to the point of not minding changing clothes in front of various people, more so when her SOS Brigade is in mind. When it comes to Mikuru she is very physically playful. She often comments on Mikuru's attractiveness and seems to find a kind of enjoyment in exploiting it to her own ends, often through forcing Mikuru into and out of various costumes such as a bunny girl costume as if she were a human dress-up doll.
Haruhi also seems to hate showing signs of vulnerability to others. Following her concert performance at the school's culture festival when she and Yuki filled in for two members of the band ENOZ, Haruhi showed awkwardness towards the band members when they thanked her the following day. As Kyon pointed out, Haruhi was not used to receiving praise from others because of how mischievous she regularly acts towards others.
Username: Angelic__Angelica
Name: Mikuru Asahina 朝比奈 みくる
Personality: A shy and timid girl with a childish naïveté, Mikuru is depicted as kind, caring and thoughtful. She easily gets scared or flustered, more so in times whenever Haruhi is involved and makes her do embarrassing things. Apparently prone to daydreaming, she can also be rather clumsy at times. Nevertheless, she can be surprisingly resilient and is capable of recovering from even the most discomforting of situations. However, because of her gentle nature she seems rather helpless most of the time. Kyon sees it as his duty to always watch over and protect her; although when it comes to Haruhi there is no rescue.
Despite being reluctant to continue after the bunny-girl incident, where she was forced to wear a bunny-girl costume and pass out fliers on school grounds, Mikuru remains loyal and dedicated to the Brigade as well as her mission as a time-traveller.
Username: Dark_Orchid_Angel
Name: Yuki Nagato 長門 有希
Personality: Yuki has a very stoic and introverted personality, preferring simple body language rather than speaking. When prompted to speak, she does so in a very concise manner, always speaking in a monotone and displaying a dispassionate expression. She thinks very rationally, and finds it difficult to communicate with normal humans due to her intelligence and lack of empathy. She enjoys reading, and is seen reading a book in the majority of her appearances, typically of the science fiction or mystery genres. As the series continues, she displays an enjoyment of computer games and develops a sense of humour, although her unchanging facial expressions make it near-impossible to discern whether she is joking or not. Despite her reserved manner, she is reliable and trustworthy, resulting in Kyon trusting her more than other members of the SOS Brigade. Though seemingly cold and devoid of emotions at first glance, Yuki does show care and a warm concern for her fellow SOS Brigade members, in particular Kyon.
Username: Vaughn Lechance
Name: Kyon
Personality: A cynical and level headed high school student, Kyon is often the sole voice of reason in the SOS Brigade (and, at times, its conscience). He often intervenes when Haruhi behaves too erratically and sometimes without the aid of any of the other brigade members. Much to his irritation, this responsibility is his alone, since the other members passively follow Haruhi's schemes. He is also usually the one who pays for meals during brigade outings and is saddled with the brigade's "grunt work" (such as being the cameraman and editor for the SOS Brigade's school festival movie and the creation and maintenance of the club's website). However, as the one responsible for inspiring the creation of the brigade, Kyon remains an integral member and may even be the most integral member on par with Haruhi herself.
Kyon is the only person who can actively dissuade or even stop Haruhi from acting out her plans or ideas (Haruhi herself makes a reference to this in "Someday in the Rain", implying that Kyon was the one obstacle that kept her from dressing Mikuru up in more outfits for pictures for the DVD release of "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina"), and also the one saddled with the responsibility of placating Haruhi whenever she's discontent or angry. He is also the sounding board for the rest of the brigade members, who depend on him to aid in their monitoring of Haruhi, and occasionally ask him for input regarding their activities. At times they defer to him rather than their brigade chief, especially when cleaning up the messes caused by Haruhi's subconscious.
Despite his apparent discontent and his continued complaints, Kyon remains with the SOS Brigade and Haruhi, even though he is not required to do so. He consciously attributes this to the sense of responsibility he feels about having to keep the world as it is, as well as protecting Mikuru and Yuki from Haruhi's schemes. In the novels, however, it can be inferred that he has actually grown used to the SOS Brigade, and would miss it if it were gone.
Username: the original Xephios
Name: Itsuki Koizumi 古泉 一樹,
Personality: Itsuki is constantly smiling and always speaks in a formal and polite manner. He is also prone to giving long and detailed explanations, usually illustrated by exaggerated hand gestures. Itsuki has confirmed to Kyon once that his outer personality is merely an artificial image he fakes in accordance to Haruhi's impression of him, and hints that his true character is something quite different, being "less pleasing" in the eyes of others. Maintaining his casual, constantly smiling self, however, is vital for keeping Haruhi's mentality balanced.
Out of the four Brigade members, Kyon is the least fond of Itsuki. He often finds himself annoyed with Itsuki's plastic smile, his willingness to acquiesce to Haruhi's outrageous schemes, playful teasing and his various forays into his psychological and philosophical theories (e.g., omphalos hypothesis, Anthropic principle, etc.). He is also distrustful of Itsuki's intentions, comparing him to Yuki Nagato when it comes to deciphering his expressions. Itsuki's fondness for speculation often causes him to produce explanations for situations involving the SOS Brigade, its members and related events. Ironically, Itsuki can only share his theories with Kyon and also enthusiastically plays different kinds of board games with him to pass the time, despite losing all the time, although Kyon suspects that he may be doing so on purpose.
During episode seven of the anime (Mystérique Sign), when the SOS members are trapped in a mimicry of closed space, Itsuki displays some of his esper abilities fighting the cricket Shinjin with Yuki Nagato. His esper attacks are named "Fumoffu" and "Second Raid", both references to the mecha anime Full Metal Panic!.

Just a normal day... With a sigh, she daydreamed within the class room, her chin resting on the palm of her hand. Her friends had gone outside, leaving her alone in the room. Looking around with her hazel coloured eyes, she was finally glad to have some alone time. Unwillingly, she was one of the most admired girls in the school. Of course, it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact she had a lolita look about her, and a big chest too. Nothing to do with it at all. Yes, that was sarcasm. She should have been at the Calligraphy club at the moment, but she was too busy stuck in a day dream, as usual. Occasionally, her mind would drift off and ponder on what could have happened to restrain time travel. It had something to do with the time she was in, she knew that much. She had yet to see the girl who it was centred around though; it was the first day of school.

 A rough page turned and the silent scraping of paper sounded through out the room. Her eyes were glued to the page. Not another sound could jar her from such wonders, even the soft whisper of a voice would have to try and compete with the battle a foot with in her mind. Adjusting her glasses, Yuki sat in solitude at the back of the room. The seniors had graduated, and all that was left was her and the chair she sat in. The literary club had been tolerable, plenty of books to read and the comforting silence of other readers blanketed her with a secure feeling. Though now she found it even more exciting in the fact that no longer would she have to discuss a plot or write a few sentences over such and suchs writing style. All that was left was the book and her imagination. Sighing quietly with satisfaction, she closed the felt cover. Another book finished and soon it would be replaced with another. A rare smile crossed her usually blank complexion as she set the novel up on the shelf. Only two more and she would have gone through the entire collection the club had possessed. Her fingers reached to the sky as she stretched, and then found the spine of an untouched. Gracefully striding over to the lonesome chair near the window she began again, the fresh page of the first chapter turning, opening new adventures.

Another day at school, Haruhi marched herself through the doors and into her first period class. It was there that she placed herself in the center seat of the center row. Why would she sit in such a place? The view was fantastic. You could see just about everyone's face. Of course, the guy sitting right behind you was out of view. Her eyes curiously scanned the room for any abnormal presences. It was hard not to hope for a strange, unearthly person. Surely there had to be someone that could make her life interesting. There had to be such a thing as an esper, a time traveler, or an alien. Why else would life go on? Impatience ripped at her insides as Haruhi placed her jaw forcefully in her palm, which was propped up by her elbow. Where were these interesting people? All the faces waltzing through the door were ordinary and familiar. In fact, she had already become bored with her classmates. If only they would go away and make it easier to find intriguing beings.
"I'm so bored. Why is it so hard to find someone interesting?"
Today was turning out to be just another ordinary day in the bland lives of the people around her. Haruhi's search for the abnormal was turning out to be hopeless. Her search had already gone for years. Why not stop now? This girl was stubborn as ever. She'd challenge gravity if you thought of doing so. It didn't seem like much of a subject, though. Suzumiya sighed and placed her hands over her face. Dark brown bundles of hair drifted over her shoulders and fell. Haruhi couldn't wait for the day to be over. If only there was a way to bring the abnormal together or place them in one area.
((Gosh! If only we had a Kyon. I'd be able to do something more. >< We all would.))
